2 Crónicas 13

Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial

1No décimo oitavo ano do rei Jeroboão, Abias começou a reinar sobre Judá.

2Ele reinou três anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Micaías, filha de Uriel, de Gibeá. Houve guerra entre Abias e Jeroboão.

3Abias entrou na batalha com um exército de valentes guerreiros, quatrocentos mil homens escolhidos; e Jeroboão formou linha de batalha contra ele com oitocentos mil homens escolhidos, que eram guerreiros valentes.

4Abias se pôs em pé no monte Zemaraim, que fica na região montanhosa de Efraim, e disse: “Ouçam-me, Jeroboão e todo o Israel:

5Vocês não deveriam saber que o SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, deu o reino sobre Israel a Davi para sempre, a ele e a seus filhos, por uma aliança de sal?

6Contudo, Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, servo de Salomão, filho de Davi, levantou-se e rebelou-se contra o seu senhor.

7Homens imprestáveis se ajuntaram a ele, homens perversos que se fortaleceram contra Roboão, filho de Salomão, quando Roboão era jovem e inexperiente, e não pôde resistir a eles.

8“Agora vocês pretendem resistir ao reino do SENHOR, que está nas mãos dos filhos de Davi. Vocês são uma grande multidão, e os bezerros de ouro que Jeroboão fez para serem os seus deuses estão com vocês.

9Vocês não expulsaram os sacerdotes do SENHOR, os filhos de Arão, e os levitas, e fizeram sacerdotes para si mesmos, segundo os costumes dos povos de outras terras? Qualquer um que venha consagrar-se com um novilho e sete carneiros pode ser sacerdote daqueles que não são deuses.

10“Mas, quanto a nós, o SENHOR é o nosso Deus, e não o abandonamos. Temos sacerdotes servindo ao SENHOR, os filhos de Arão, e os levitas em sua obra.

11Eles queimam ao SENHOR, todas as manhãs e todas as tardes, holocaustos e incenso aromático. Eles também colocam em ordem os pães da proposição sobre a mesa pura, e cuidam do candelabro de ouro com as suas lâmpadas, para que queimem todas as tardes; pois nós guardamos a instrução do SENHOR, nosso Deus, mas vocês o abandonaram.

12Vejam, Deus está conosco, à nossa frente, e os seus sacerdotes com as trombetas de alarme para tocar o alarme contra vocês. Filhos de Israel, não lutem contra o SENHOR, o Deus de seus pais; pois vocês não prosperarão.”

13Mas Jeroboão preparou uma emboscada para atacá-los por trás; de modo que eles estavam em frente a Judá, e a emboscada estava atrás deles.

14Quando Judá olhou para trás, eis que a batalha estava na frente e atrás deles; e eles clamaram ao SENHOR, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas.

15Então os homens de Judá deram um grito de guerra. Enquanto os homens de Judá gritavam, Deus feriu Jeroboão e todo o Israel diante de Abias e de Judá.

16Os filhos de Israel fugiram de diante de Judá, e Deus os entregou em suas mãos.

17Abias e o seu povo os mataram com grande matança, de modo que quinhentos mil homens escolhidos de Israel caíram mortos.

18Assim os filhos de Israel foram subjugados naquele tempo, e os filhos de Judá prevaleceram, porque confiaram no SENHOR, o Deus de seus pais.

19Abias perseguiu Jeroboão, e tomou-lhe cidades: Betel com as suas aldeias, Jesana com as suas aldeias, e Efrom com as suas aldeias.

20Jeroboão não recuperou mais as forças nos dias de Abias. O SENHOR o feriu, e ele morreu.

21Mas Abias se fortaleceu, tomou para si catorze esposas, e gerou vinte e dois filhos e dezesseis filhas.

22O restante dos atos de Abias, os seus caminhos e as suas palavras, estão escritos nos comentários do profeta Ido.

Reina-Valera 1909

1A LOS dieciocho años del rey Jeroboam, reinó Abías sobre Judá.

2Y reinó tres años en Jerusalem. El nombre de su madre fué Michâía hija de Uriel de Gabaa. Y hubo guerra entre Abías y Jeroboam.

3Entonces ordenó Abías batalla con un ejército de cuatrocientos mil hombres de guerra valerosos y escogidos: y Jeroboam ordenó batalla contra él con ochocientos mil hombres escogidos, fuertes y valerosos.

4Y levantóse Abías sobre el monte de Semaraim, que es en los montes de Ephraim, y dijo: Oidme, Jeroboam y todo Israel.

5¿No sabéis vosotros, que Jehová Dios de Israel dió el reino á David sobre Israel para siempre, á él y á sus hijos en alianza de sal?

6Pero Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, siervo de Salomón hijo de David, se levantó y rebeló contra su señor.

7Y se allegaron á él hombres vanos, hijos de iniquidad, y pudieron más que Roboam hijo de Salomón, porque Roboam era mozo y tierno de corazón, y no se defendió de ellos.

8Y ahora vosotros tratáis de fortificaros contra el reino de Jehová en mano de los hijos de David, porque sois muchos, y tenéis con vosotros los becerros de oro que Jeroboam os hizo por dioses.

9¿No echasteis vosotros á los sacerdotes de Jehová, á los hijos de Aarón, y á los Levitas, y os habéis hecho sacerdotes á la manera de los pueblos de otras tierras, para que cualquiera venga á consagrarse con un becerro y siete carneros, y así sea sacerdote de los que no son dioses?

10Mas en cuanto á nosotros, Jehová es nuestro Dios, y no le hemos dejado: y los sacerdotes que ministran á Jehová son los hijos de Aarón, y los Levitas en la obra;

11Los cuales queman á Jehová los holocaustos cada mañana y cada tarde, y los perfumes aromáticos; y ponen los panes sobre la mesa limpia, y el candelero de oro con sus candilejas para que ardan cada tarde: porque nosotros guardamos la ordenanza de Jehová nuestro Dios; mas vosotros le habéis dejado.

12Y he aquí Dios está con nosotros por cabeza, y sus sacerdotes con las trompetas del júbilo para que suenen contra vosotros. Oh hijos de Israel, no peleéis contra Jehová el Dios de vuestros padres, porque no os sucederá bien.

13Pero Jeroboam hizo girar una emboscada para venir á ellos por la espalda: y estando así delante de ellos, la emboscada estaba á espaldas de Judá.

14Y como miró Judá, he aquí que tenía batalla delante y á las espaldas; por lo que clamaron á Jehová, y los sacerdotes tocaron las trompetas.

15Entonces los de Judá alzaron grita; y así que ellos alzaron grita, Dios desbarató á Jeroboam y á todo Israel delante de Abías y de Judá:

16Y huyeron los hijos de Israel delante de Judá, y Dios los entregó en sus manos.

17Y Abías y su gente hacían en ellos gran mortandad; y cayeron heridos de Israel quinientos mil hombres escogidos.

18Así fueron humillados los hijos de Israel en aquel tiempo: mas los hijos de Judá se fortificaron, porque se apoyaban en Jehová el Dios de sus padres.

19Y siguió Abías á Jeroboam, y tomóle algunas ciudades, á Beth-el con sus aldeas, á Jesana con sus aldeas, y á Ephraim con sus aldeas.

20Y nunca más tuvo Jeroboam poderío en los días de Abías: é hirióle Jehová, y murió.

21Empero se fortificó Abías; y tomó catorce mujeres, y engendró veintidós hijos, y dieciséis hijas.

22Lo demás de los hechos de Abías, sus caminos y sus negocios, está escrito en la historia de Iddo profeta.

King James Version

1Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

2He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

3And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.

4And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;

5Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

6Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.

7And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.

8And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.

9Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.

10But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:

11And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.

12And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

13But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.

14And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

15Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

16And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.

17And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

18Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.

19And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.

20Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.

21But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

22And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

World English Bible

1In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.

2He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

3Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.

4Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:

5Ought you not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

6Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.

7Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.

8“Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.

9Haven’t you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.

10“But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.

11They burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.

12Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”

13But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

14When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

15Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

16The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.

17Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.

18Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.

19Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.

20Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. The LORD struck him, and he died.

21But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

22The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
